Equinade Pure Stockholm Tar contains 100% Swedish Pine Tar which is renowned for it's natural mild antiseptic quality. Stockholm held a monopoly for selling pine tar and so the premium form of the product became known as "Stockholm Tar". Substitute materials are marketed as Stockholm tar, but should not be used as a veterinary product. Whilst black in colour, the substitute is a residue of charcoal production (poly phenolic liquor) which contains hazardous chemicals and up to 22% water. Coal tar is also used as a substitute which contains the toxic and hazardous benzopyrene (C2OH12).
Equinade Pure Stockholm Tar is a high quality pine tar produced using closed kilns to extract the valuable sap, without toxic bi-products being produced e.g. creosote.
Benefits & Uses:
- Non-toxic and does not contain water, petroleum based chemicals or carcinogenic creosote
- Natural antiseptic action helps to combat bacterial infections of the hoof and skin, including thrush
- Assists in the treatment of split hooves, split heels, cracks and corns. Promotes a flexible and elastic hoof.
- A valuable ingredient to make preparations such as soap, shampoo, animal dips and hoof applications.
- Other applications include sealing and preventing infection of shearing wounds and when dehorning.
- Also a natural way of sealing exposed branches after pruning.

Stance Equitec Turmericle is a powdered dietary supplement that may assist with the alleviation of skin conditions and joint aches and pains. It is a unique golden blend of turmeric, powdered coconut oil, black pepper and Resveratrol.This unique golden powder blend combines all the natural benefits of turmeric, powdered coconut oil (PowerStance), ground black pepper and an Equitec Performance Products' exclusive ingredient, Resveratrol, in a easy to use powdered supplement form.
It is suitable for use in a variety of animals, including horses, cattle, dogs and cats!
May be used for the alleviation of:
- Skin allergies and sarcoids
- Inflammation of joints and muscles
- Circulation and blood flow
Ingredients: A proprietary blend of [Curcuma longa (Madras and Alleppey), Curcuma xanthorrhiza, Powdered coconut oil (PowerStance), Ground black pepper, Resveratrol from Japanese knotweed] 25g
TURMERIC (curcuma longa and curcuma xanthorhizza):
Known as the vibrant golden ingredient used liberally in Indian curries, turmeric has a long history of use in both Indian and Chinese traditional medicine. The inherent therapeutic properties are attributed to the vivid yellow-orange pigments (curcuminoids) that are present in turmeric. They are believed to have powerful antioxidant properties (significantly more so than vitamin E or C) and may increase the body's ability to neutralise free radicals before they damage healthy cells and cell membranes. In combination with its perceived anti-inflammatory effects, turmeric has also been known for its role in the prevention or alleviation of an impressive array conditions.
Turmeric may also be useful in reducing inflammation particularly for animals with arthritis and itchy skin.
GROUND BLACK PEPPER:
The inclusion of ground black pepper to this mix may increase the bio-availabilty and absorption rate of turmeric and Resveratrol.
POWERSTANCE (powdered coconut oil):
Stance Equine's powdered coconut oil supplement is a unique coconut delivery system that gives the benefits of this wonderful tropical oil and may also help to increase the absorption of turmeric in the digestive system. Coconut oil contains high levels of medium chain triglycerides (MCT's) which provide the body with a readily available energy source and Lauric Acid, which converts to monolaurin and may provide anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. The benefits of supplementing animals with coconut oil may include improved digestive health, enhanced coat and skin condition.
RESVERATROL:
Resveratrol is produced in plants to maintain their general health. Normal body functioning gives rise to free radicals with production greatly increased during inflammation and stress. Resveratrol has been added to Turmericle as it is an antioxidant that may help the body efficiently detoxify these free radicals. The resveratrol is derived from Japanese knotweed.

Toltrazuril, the active constituent of Baycox®, is active against all intracellular stages of coccidia. It interferes with the multiplication process and the energy pathways of the parasite. Baycox® Piglet treats and prevents clinical disease while allowing immunity to develop against coccidia.
Before using this product obtain a veterinary diagnosis for the cause of the diarrhoea. Clinical coccidiosis of piglets appears from 5-30 days of age. Control of the disease is most effective when Baycox is given as a preventative before intestinal damage occurs and diarrhoea begins. Therefore it is important to establish the correct cause of scouring in neonatal piglets, then treat all new litters at 3-6 days of age to control the disease.

Walkease is a hoof repair system created as an early-intervention hoof claw prosthetic. It is not intended to replace other conventional claw shoes currently on the market but to provide lower cost and faster treatment for developing hoof injuries.
The Walkease block is made from flexible EVA material that is soothing for the cow to walk on. The greatest advantage of the Walkease is its speed and ease of application.
Features of Walkease:
- Fast and easy to use.
- Cost effective enough to use on all early cases.
- Specially developed glue and block will bond to hooves almost instantly and last for 7-20 days
- Each block is supplied plastic wrapped to prevent contamination prior to use.
The Starter Kit comprises: 10 Walkease blocks, a tube of special Walkease superglue, a Walkease rasp and 10 pairs of latex gloves, all packed in a useful resealable plastic container.
For further use extra 10-packs of blocks and extra glue are available.
A practical first-purchase would be the Mixed Sizes Starter Kit. This has blocks as follows: 3 x small, 3 x medium and 4 x large. This will allow the user to determine the preferred block size for their own herd use.
Walkease blocks can be used either way up, so suit both left and right claws. The block should stay on from 7-20 days, which is generally long enough for the injured claw to have made a recovery.
Hoof Preparation
Can I use a hoof rasp?
A ‘Walkease’ rasp is supplied in the Starter Kit so the user will have a tool for final correct preparation of the hoof before application of the Walkease block. The purpose of the rasp is to flatten any humps and hollows in the hoof left by the trimming job. The rasp supplied is designed for not more than about 20 hoof preparations. For basic hoof preparation regular hoof trimming tools should be used.
Note: Any rasp must not have aggressive teeth which will leave a grooved surface. The rasp must be clean, as any surface contamination left may cause the bond to fail.
Can I use a grinding disc to prepare the hoof for the Walkease block?
Although a grinding disc is fine for hoof preparation, it is better to use a flat rasp for the final surface. This is because a disc can often leave grooves and humps and hollows. Some grinders use rough chips for their cutting action which can leave the surface rough. The best surface for attaching a Walkease block is very flat and very smooth. Remember the Walkease glue is only paper thin so will not attach in any hollows left by a grinding disc. Therefore, if a grinding disc is to be used for the final surface, it should be the type that uses sharp blades to cut the surface smoothly and it should be used very carefully.
Can Walkease be used if the good claw has little flat surface area left?
The answer is to create as much flat area as you can on the sole. This is best done with a flat rasp. The Walkease block is then glued and pressed on the hoof as normal. Even in cases where the bond covers only 50% (or less) of the block, the block will stay on remarkably well. Remember – Walkease glue has no gap filling properties.
Should I dry the hoof first?
The hoof should not be dried at all. The hoof’s natural moisture content of around 30% is perfect for activating the Walkease glue. Removing this moisture can adversely affect the performance of the glue. Following final hoof preparation with the Walkease hoof rasp, the hoof should not have anything touch it until the glued block is applied.
Using Walkease Blocks
Can I use two Walkease blocks on one hoof?
Walkease blocks can generally be attached safely to claws that are slightly damaged, although we would not recommend attaching over substantial abscesses or bruises. The Walkease glue is very thin so does not create any pressure points or fill any cavities. It is also safe to attach to flesh areas. In fact, cyanoacrylate glues are commonly used in human surgery for attaching to flesh or skin.
Do I trim the Walkease block to size?
Walkease blocks are supplied in four colour-coded sizes. First preference is to use the correct size block for the hoof being treated, so in almost all cases you should find one that fits. However, the block may need to be trimmed perhaps when the hoof is an unusual shape. If this is required, follow these guidelines:
- The block should overlap the hoof outer wall by a few (4-6) millimeters so that the load bearing is contained within the block perimeter
- If it is overlapping the hoof wall or heel too much the block is at risk of being caught by the hoof of another cow
- The block should never be applied with the hoof wall hanging over the edge of the block
What if I drop the Walkease block in dirt?
A Walkease block can be cleaned with hot-detergent water, and then dried and kept clean until required.
Should I rasp the Walkease block?
No, this is not recommended.
Will the Walkease blocks be secure on slat floors?
If the block application has been done correctly, the blocks will handle the slats and gaps in floors. Because of their soft, flexible design Walkease don’t get jammed or ‘popped’ off like other blocks.
What if the Walkease block comes off?
If the Walkease glue is within its effective life (see section on storing glue), and the hoof was prepared as per the instructions for ‘hoof preparation’, then the blocks should not wear off for at least 10 to 14 days, even under very difficult conditions.
If a block comes off and can be recovered, examine it, as it can give a clue as to what is causing any failure. The parts of the block that were attached to the hoof will be seen to have ripped the foam. The parts that have not attached will likely show contamination or areas where the glue has not been in good contact with the hoof. Read through the instructions and it may be apparent that a step was missed or perhaps not followed fully.
Another idea is to try applying blocks to non-injured claws until you have solved the loss problem using other systems to block the injured claws. If the problem persists you should contact us, as we can offer technical advice.
Applying Walkease
Do I remove the Walkease block from the hoof?
There is no need to remove the block at any point. Unlike other types of shoes or hoof-blocks, it is not necessary to remove the Walkease block. Over its life, the Walkease block gradually compresses and thins. The Walkease glue is very thin and causes no harm to the hoof when the block wears off.
Can I apply Walkease on a tilt table crush?
Our preferred crush is a ‘stand-up’ type where each hoof can be put down for full weight bearing as soon as it is blocked. But if you do use a tilt-table crush, please be mindful of the following:
- It is recommended to finish all the preparatory work on the hooves before application of the blocks. With a tilt table crush, it is more important than with a stand-up crush that the hoof preparation is perfect
- The hoof sole must be very flat so that when the Walkease block is pressed against it (by hand pressure only) there is the maximum surface contact area possible. With a stand-up crush where the hoof is put down more promptly, the weight of the cow ensures the block conforms to any irregularities of the sole
- The press time of the block on the hoof should be longer in a tilt table crush to compensate for the fact that the cow is not using its own weight to press the Walkease on while the glue cures
Can I use Walkease in wet weather?
As explained in the section about glue, the Walkease glue is activated by moisture. If the humidity is very low (as in freezing or desert conditions) then it may be necessary to add moisture to the glue by breathing closely on the glued block a few times. But in ‘normal’ temperate zone weather conditions, no extra moisture should be required.
The Walkease system works perfectly well, even in light rain showers. Moisture on the hoof does not negatively affect the success of the bond. However, contamination of either surface is a different matter – both the hoof sole and the block must be kept perfectly clean. The plastic cover on the block should not be removed until the block is ready to be glued.
When do I use a Walkese Wedgie block?
It is common for lame cows to be ‘down at the heel’ causing the toes to become over-grown. The Wedgie block causes the weight of the cow to move forward off the heel and more onto the toe. This can be beneficial for recovery.

Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin which acts as a coenzyme for various metabolic functions, including fat and carbohydrate metabolism and protein synthesis. It is vital for glucose production in ruminants, which is essential to meet the high energy demands of growth and lactation. Selenium is a trace element that is necessary for normal metabolism; it is an essential anti-oxidant, and key component of proteins that have a role in muscle function, immune system and synthesis of thyroid hormones.
Vitamin B12 deficiency results in reduced appetite and growth rates, illthrift, infertility and reduced wool and milk production. Selenium deficiency can result in lameness, White Muscle Disease, reduced fertility and immunity, and reduced wool and milk production. Deficiency may occur at any stage of the year but is more likely to happen during stressful periods such as calving/lambing and growing periods of stock. Subcutaneous injection of Vitamin B12 and Selenium is the preferred method of preventing and correcting Vitamin B12 and Selenium deficiency.
Active Constituents:
Hydroxocobalamin 2mg/mL;
Selenium 4mg/mL
Product Benefits:
- Contains Hydroxocobalamin, a longer acting form of Vitamin B12 compared to Cyanocobalamin
- Treats both sheep and cattle
- Cost effective - Treats more lambs per pack compared to other Vitamin B12 injections in the market, ie. 1000 lambs vs 500 lambs
- Supports animals during times of stress for optimal growth rates and production
Lambs: 0.5mL at marking and weaning time
Sheep: 1 - 1.5mL prior to mating and 4 weeks prior to lambing
Calves: 2 - 3mL from 2 months of age
Cattle: 4 - 6mL at mating time and prior to calving
Give dose by subcutaneous injection only.
The frequency of dosing should be related to the severity of the deficiency. For instance, for sheep in extremely deficient areas, repeat dose every 2 to 3 months. In less deficient areas, repeat dose every 5 to 6 months or as found necessary.

or "Slow" and let him take milk as he can cope, without drowning. The three speeds control the air inlet to the bottle, and thus the milk outflow. Reduce time wasted on speedsters and prevent drowning weaklings, all using the same bottle and teat.
The "Speedy Feeder" also features an intelligently designed bottle with multi-directional easy-grip hand hold. The teat is mounted low in the cap to empty the bottle contents completely. The wide diameter neck ensures easier filling and cleaning, and the coarse-thread cap is quick and easy to fit.
The wide base gives the bottle maximum stability when standing. Try one today - you will love it!
Capacity 2.5 litres which is a recommended feed quantity for a Friesian bull calf, twice per day.

Nutrimol is a liquid mineral supplement which contains fine and pure seaweed extracts, copper, zinc and magnesium chelates.
Nutrimol contains over 60 essential trace elements, minerals and amino acids, with molasses added to increase palatability. It is a nutritional package ideal for all animals including horses, sheep, beef, dairy, alpacas, lamas, ostriches, deer and poultry.
USAGE:
Mix 1L Nutrimol with every 15,000L of drinking water, continual use.
Nutrimol Nutritional Supplement is a liquid preparation suitable for increasing the mineral intake of livestock, in particular Copper, Zinc and Magnesium. It is a combination of Maxicrop Seaweed Extract, Molasses, Copper-, Zinc- and Magnesium chelates. It is suitable for use when it is desired to increase the mineral and trace element intake of stock.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Administer Nutrimol at the recommended rates and timings. Rates are based on an average sized animal. Where a significantly larger or smaller animal is to be treated, administer on a pro-rata weight to dose basis.
For general use, where daily rates are not practical, administer fortnightly to improve animal health and monthly to maintain animal condition.
For more specific uses, administer Nutrimol to young animals during periods of rapid growth and/or physical stress. Likewise, with older stock, use Nutrimol at important reproductive or production stages of the year and for times of physical stress when adequate mineral intake is vital.
Nutrimol can be drenched, added to drinking water (trough systems) or poured over feed. Introduce Nutrimol to stock gradually.
When adding to a water trough, leave the water source turned on so that the Nutrimol dilutes with time. Add more Nutrimol when the required time interval has passed.
Nutrimol will be of assistance when used in programs aimed at:
*Alleviating vitamin and mineral deficiencies, especially magnesium, iodine, selenium, copper and zinc.
*Increasing resistance to certain diseases, promoting better utilisation of feed.
*Reducing the incidence of scouring and birthing abnormalities.
*Improving coat quality and overall appearance.
*Assisting recovery from stress.
*Preparation for conception, pregnancy, birth, shows and sale.
Get excellent results fast!!
Specifically formulated for Australian conditions, Nutrimol is absorbed within hours and remains in the animal's system due to its chelate structure. Sub-clinical problems can be quickly remedied, while improvements in general health and condition are usually noticeable in 3-7 days. Dosing with Nutrimol ensures each animal receives the vitamins, minerals and trace elements that contribute to peak performance.
